Cast, opaque dark blue inlay in the form of a leg and foot. The leg is broken at the knee and made with some attention to anatomical detail, such as the depiction of the calf muscle as well as the shape of the upper foot. The condition is good with some signs of wear and some minor nicks that are concentrated towards the top of the leg.
